Among the affected projects, MACH2 in Philadelphia was expected to support more than 20,000 jobs in the Delaware Valley region and was set to receive a $750 million Department of Energy award.

Twelve former U.S. officials who quit over the Biden administration's Gaza policy have issued a joint statement urging 2028 presidential candidates not to hire those who enabled Israel's military actions. The signatories, many from the State Department, intelligence agencies and the military, accuse the officials of violating U.S. and international law by supplying weapons while civilians were attacked and aid blocked. The statement warns that many of the same officials are seeking to return to government within two years of leaving office. A video accompanied the release, showing former Secretary of State Antony Blinken and former national security adviser Jake Sullivan. Israel says its Gaza operations are self-defence after the 7 Oct 2023 Hamas-led attack.
